Today, October 6th, 2015, marks the one-year anniversary of when I joined wattpad. I can't believe how quickly a year has flown by!
I've had so many good times on that site! Some of the most amazing things that have happened thus far include:
- I've been able to make a difference with BULLIED (a book which I've talked about in previous updates)! The fact that it has reached over ONE MILLION reads and has been #1 on the Non-Fiction What's Hot List for WEEKS is still crazy to me!
- My debut novel, Roses Are Red, has gained a small but mighty fan base thanks to the wattpad following I have!
- Thanks to the positive feedback I've received on wattpad, I've gotten the courage to try re-querying a book I wrote three years ago, called The Suit War!
- I've gotten to meet some really amazing people, writers and readers alike! Thank you to everyone that has supported me and my work! I LOVE YOU ALL!
If you haven't had a chance to check out Wattpad.com yet, I strongly recommend it, whether you're a writer, a reader, or both! It's such a loving, supportive place in so many ways, and I'm so glad that I joined the site!
I can't wait to see what the future brings!

When I read how SUCCESSFUL you are I immediately went to check out your profile. I think you've just motivated me to finish my stupid story and write something for real. Isn't that feeling of making it into the top 100 of a category just the BEST feeling though, even if the story is complete rubbish (in my case). Sometimes I've felt ashamed of having a wattpad account because of it's bad rep, but a website that allows to get amateur writing out there is pretty cool.

Aw, thank you so much, M! It really is a great feeling anytime a story ranks on one of Wattpad's What's Hot Lists! Sure, some stories on Wattpad may be more polished than others, but don't let that discourage you from writing! If anything, I think Wattpad is a great place for newer writers to hone their craft because often the feedback can be very helpful. So I hope you won't feel ashamed anymore, because being a writer on Wattpad is awesome in my opinion!
DeleteBest of luck with your stories!
